it's about enforcing the law. an electronic verification system where employers have the security of knowing the people they hire are legally here protects the american worker. and by the way, is good for the immigrant so they're not being explo exploited. also the border security element, which has improved. but it needs to continue to improve. then, i think we need to modernize. the second step is to modernize our legal ill grags system. one of the things we don't talk about enough is in my opinion the single greatest contributor to illegal immigration is a broken legal immigration system. i think if you do those two things, then the plight of 12 million or 9 million or whatever the number is, it becomes easier to guy with. it won't become easy. but it will become easier if you have the confidence -- >> you get into these issues as any legislator does, and it's the final step that's the hardest. who can become legal? what is amnesty? and that's why this question is so crucial. can anyone become legal who is here

so i don't agree with in law. i don't like the idea of people being asked on the streets for their papers. i don't like the racial profiling. it must include. but i understand the frustration in arizona. norah: joan, there's talk that the obama administration may challenge this law. but what are the political concerns? >> well, it's politically tricky. but the president came out very early and said he doesn't like it. eric holder, his attorney general, also said that they're looking very seriously into the legal grounds to challenge it. so i think they're going to go forward on that front. even though it's politically tough given what we're seeing in the polls but legally they feel they have grounds to go after it. norah: katty, will the president push immigration reform any time before 2012? >> certainly won't do it before the mid-term elections. i don't think there is very much appetite in the white house to do this. gout more of a chance after the mid terms. norah: pete. >> yes. >> joan. >> yes. zphr andrew. >>
